In the last newsletter, we took a look at one of the legendary climbs that will feature in the Haute Route Pyrenees; the Col du Tourmalet. In this weeks newsletter we bring you more of the same as we head over to the Spanish side and explore another bucket-list climb that riders are set to conquer as part of this raw mountain experience.
We hope this article inspires you to keep training hard. In this newsletter, we also share partner insights and tips to help you on your way, while our blog is packed full of training tips, interviews and much more to help keep you focussed in the lead up to the Haute Route Pyrenees.
Ride safe and see you in the mountains,
